We stayed in our motorhome during the Beast from the East MkII in March 2018. Despite the horizontal snowfall and minus 10C temperature the guys kept the roads and paths clear and the shower blocks squeaky clean somehow. Great work! Because our water tank frost valve emptied itself we were not able to conveniently make a brew so had to resort to going into the Fountain Inn a 10 minute walk away and drink their alcohol and eat their food! Marvelous. The White Hart is a posher alternative but regardless, given the time of year it is great that a small place like Hawes has two good quality punb - the Board Inn wasn't doing food when we popped in and the Chinese and Indian were closed because of the weather (although we have used both in the past and they were fine). There are dozens of fantastic walks into and out of Hawes but this time we thought we would spare the Mountain Rescue a call-out so kept to the riverside paths and took loads of pictures of the frozen-up river and spectacular snowy hills. We will be back.
